: ...DO we currently make or within 2-3 months of releasing a DIGITAL
: Laptop with a built in CD-ROM drive? It must be built-in as the space
: is required to remove the CD-ROM drive and install test hardware.
Yes, the HiNote VP500 series ships with an internal bay that supports
options such as a LIon battery, a floppy, or a CD-ROM drive. Another
bay supports PCMCIA cards. And -- if memory serves -- access via PCI
is also available via port replicator.
Various Intel Pentium and Pentium MMX MHz CPUs are available.
Look around in this notes conference, as well as the PCBU web site,
for details. (The VP500 series has been shipping for a while...)

.0 seems to be saying that the options bay CD-ROM is not acceptable
because access to the motherboard is not available.

I wasn't sure if that was a reference to the external bay available
on some of the HiNote series, or to the internal bay on the VP500.
If it *is* a reference of the inaccessability to the motherboard from
the internal CD-ROM bay on the VP500, consider cutting a hole in the
casing, with the dimensions necessary for the cabling used to connect
to the test equipment to the motherboard. (This obviously likely also
voids the warrantee.)

| 2299.4 | Thanks ! HINOTE VP535 | PASTA::CAMPOS | | Mon Feb 10 1997 12:05 | 11 |
| Today I got my hands on a Hinote VP535. From first look it appears the CDROM
bay may be the size and shape we need to hold our hardware! I will take the
suggestion to cut into the case to access the motherboard. We did want the
Hinote to be a traveling roadshow to exhibit the product so any exterior wiring
like that on an attached bay would not look good. Thanks for the pointer, now I
need some contacts to get schematics, mechanical drawings, unit assembly
drawings, parts list, ect.
Many Thanks!
